Happy Gangs-giving!

I woke up Thursday morning to the sweetest Thanksgiving wish ever from my little turkey, "Happy Gangs-giving, Mommy!" 

 

We spent our day at Gram's house with JZ's side of our family - including his aunt and uncle from Kansas City.  So fun, because we don't get to see Deb and Gary very often! 

Before we went over the river and through the woods to Gram's house, we (of course!) had to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  Dancing, singing, Snoopy, and a ginormous monkey.  Wow, it was almost as good as seeing it in real life!

It was a beautiful day in CO, and before Caden's nap and our Thanksgiving meal, Caden spent HOURS outside digging in the dirt with JZ's old trucks and tractors that Gram still has. 

We all took turns watching him because, truly, he wanted to stay outside for HOURS.  He was covered head to toe in dirt by the time we got him inside. 

Really.  Head to toe. 

He also enjoyed serving us tea.  Gram has a really cool lamp that looks like it has a spout on the end.  Once we found him a nonbreakable tea pot instead of Gram's pretty treasures, we all were treated to a lovely spot of tea.

Even CP got some of his yummy goodness

Speaking of yummy goodness, Gram and the ladies (not so much me.  I was in charge of rolls and Chex mix) outdid themselves with a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving meal. 

This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for - our family, health, jobs, and most importantly, a sweet baby boy that we're so excited to meet.  Yesterday we were reminded that even though things don't always go the way we want them to, we are blessed beyond measure. How great it is to have a day set aside to focus on and give thanks for those blessings!

And focus we did...until 9:00 when we left to hit the Black Friday sales. 

Happy Gangs-giving, everyone!
